Medical Terminology Textbook

[Nony]

Hey Yall,

I am going to be starting the LPN program in August and I need to brush up on my medical terminology. Could someone suggest a good medical terminology textbook?? In addition what else could I do to be ready for nursing school??? Any suggestions about skills I could brush up on??
